Dec 15, 2023

With the increasing awareness of environmental protection and health care, people's pursuit of health and quality of life taste is becoming higher and higher, and the demand for fabrics with multiple health functions for health clothing is also increasing.

Coconut charcoal fiber

Coconut charcoal fiber is an environmentally friendly fiber, the fibrous material of the coconut shell heated to 1200 ℃ to generate activated carbon, and then mixed with polyester and added with other chemicals to make coconut charcoal masterbatch, diluted with polyester as a carrier, and drawn into coconut charcoal long and short fibers. Coconut charcoal fiber has become a new member of the environmentally friendly and health fiber family.

Due to the presence of coconut charcoal particles in coconut charcoal fiber, it remains active even after being made into clothing, and has health benefits such as activating cells, purifying blood, eliminating fatigue, and improving allergic constitution for the human body. The coconut charcoal fiber with extremely strong adsorption capacity and the final product has absorption and deodorization effects on chemical gases such as human body odor, oil fume odor, toluene, ammonia, etc. Coconut charcoal fiber has a far-infrared emission rate of over 90%, which can promote blood circulation and improve the human environment. The coconut charcoal in the fibers forms a porous and permeable surface, which can quickly absorb a large amount of moisture, quickly diffuse and evaporate, ensuring a dry and breathable effect, giving people a warm and comfortable environment and a feeling of wearing.

Jutecell fiber

Jutecell fiber is a new type of cellulose fiber made by processing natural plant fiber hemp. This fiber is produced using a special process, which not only maintains the original characteristics of natural hemp fibers such as antibacterial and mold proof, moisture absorption and quick drying, breathability and moisture removal, but also has the advantage of adjustable fiber size and length according to textile needs, and good drape. The fabric made of this fiber has a unique cross-sectional shape, which gives it a smooth, fine and soft feel, bright color, full fabric texture, and smooth characteristics.

Jutecell fiber is a new kind of ecological textile fiber, which is healthy, fashionable, green and can breathe naturally.

Product features:

1. Using renewable natural hemp as raw material, green and environmentally friendly.

2. Having a hollow cross-sectional shape similar to raw hemp fibers.

3. It has natural antibacterial properties and mildew.

4. Good skin affinity, excellent moisture absorption and breathability, and good moisture absorption and drainage performance.

5. The fabric texture is full and round, with a smooth hand feel, with bright luster, healthy fashionable.

Air conditioning fiber

Air conditioning fiber technology was developed by NASA for the lunar landing program. The purpose is to make lunar clothing for astronauts, including gloves, socks, underwear, etc., which later developed to be used in ordinary clothing, especially outdoor clothing, including ski shirts, pants, sweaters, etc.

Air conditioning fiber is a new type of "smart" fiber that was successfully developed in 1988. It was first used for commercial purposes in 1994 and was used in outdoor clothing in 1997. It has been widely used in fashion and bedding.

The air conditioning fiber technology is mainly applied to acrylic fibers, the length is 51 mm, ranging from 60 mm to 110 mm, and can be used for loose fibers and wool tops. The principle of air conditioning fibers: the absorption and release of heat generated by the phase change of objects, such as water becoming water vapor will definitely absorb heat, which is called a phase change reaction. For example, air conditioning fibers such as 0utlast used by American aerospace technology and Onwet from China use solid-liquid transformation to achieve the absorption and release of heat. PCM (nano microcapsules) are implanted into the fibers during the fiber production process, When the temperature reaches a certain value, the capsule undergoes a physical transformation (solid to liquid) to achieve the functions of heat absorption and release.

Bamboo charcoal fiber

Bamboo charcoal is known as the "black diamond" and is internationally hailed as the "new defender of environmental protection in the 21st century". It is made by refining and honeycombing the inherent micropores of bamboo charcoal, and then melts spinning it with polyester modified chips with a honeycomb like microporous structure trend.

The biggest difference of this fiber is that each bamboo charcoal fiber has a honeycomb like microporous structure that runs through both inside and outside. This unique fiber structure design can fully utilize the functions of bamboo charcoal. The birth of this multifunctional bamboo charcoal fiber is a revolutionary innovation in textile multifunctional materials.

Copper ammonia fiber

The cross-section of copper ammonia fiber is circular, without a skin core structure, and the fiber can withstand high tensile strength, the produced monofilament is finer, so the fabric feel soft, soft luster, and silk feeling. The moisture absorption of copper ammonia fiber is similar to that of viscose fiber, and its common moisture regain rate is 11%. Under general atmospheric conditions, the moisture regain rate can reach 12% -13%.

Under the same dyeing conditions, the dyeing affinity of copper ammonia fiber is greater than that of viscose fiber, and the coloring is darker. The dry strength of copper ammonia fiber is similar to that of viscose fiber, but its wet strength is higher than that of viscose fiber, and its wear resistance is also better than that of viscose fiber. Due to its soft fibers and suitable luster, it is commonly used for high-end silk or knitted fabrics.

Rare earth luminescent fiber

Rare earth luminescent fibers are functional and environmentally friendly new materials made from rare earth luminescent materials. This fiber is made from spinning raw materials as the matrix, using long afterglow rare earth aluminate luminescent materials, and processed into luminous fibers through special spinning. Luminescent fibers absorb visible light for 10 minutes and can store light energy in the fibers, continuously emitting light in the dark for more than 10 hours.

When the luminescent fiber illuminated, it will exhibit various colors, such as red, yellow, green, blue, etc. In the darkness, luminescent fibers emit various colors of light, such as red, yellow, blue, green, etc. Luminescent fiber has brilliant colors and does not require dyeing, which is an environmentally friendly and efficient high-tech product.

Graphene fiber

Graphene is a new nanomaterial with the thinnest, strongest, and most conductive discovered at present, and is known as "black gold" and "the king of new materials". Graphene fiber is a blend of biomass graphene and natural fibers. The fabric made from this fiber is as thin as cicada wings, sturdy and durable, dustproof, waterproof, warm and breathable, permanently anti-static, and has strong antibacterial and mite removal functions. Through GA-T24253 testing, it was found that graphene fiber fabric has an efficient barrier effect on Escherichia coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and Candida albicans.

Graphene has a low electrical resistivity, therefore it has excellent conductivity, which is also the main reason for its anti-static properties. In addition to anti-static properties, graphene also has electromagnetic shielding functions, these function also make it become the first choice for protective clothing fabric.

Graphene fabric has extremely strong stretchability and strength, and the fabric also has very good elasticity. Graphene fabric also has good antibacterial and antibacterial properties. This type of fabric itself is non-toxic, and after being made into clothes, it is skin friendly and comfortable, providing an excellent wearing experience. At the same time, it can also be worn close to the body. Graphene fabric has good protective and health benefits, not only can it be washed and reused, but it can also release far-infrared light to increase one's own immunity, block virus invasion, and permanently dust-free and anti-static.
